Hi,

I wonder has anyone seen this3ch micro heli from Taiyo?

http://www.taiyo-toy.co.jp/lineup/heli/mmHG/

It looks interesting, and is being sold in Singapore for about slightly more than 3 times the price of a PicooZ. I'm thinking of getting it, but hesitated after seeing that the flight time is only about 3 mins. Guess I must be spoilt by my PiccoZ...

looks like a relabled sparc aerolite copter

not a bad flyer uses a magnet to pitch collective

plus my sparc gets 10 minutes plus per charge

calvinlo

10 mins? [X(] That's a great difference from Taiyo's printed spec of 3 mins.

shumph

look up the sparc aerolite

i cant read the page for this one but it is identical in looks

Hi Shumph,

Since you have one, can I check with you - Does the controller has any form of trimming function in case the heli spins to the left or right w/o input? I can't find any info on this.

shumph

yes in the center of controller face lower part there is a knob for trim

Thanks a lot for the info!
